Living like a widow? My rough neighbor is coaxing me to have a baby every night.

Chapter 88 Calling your Brother Qin won't help.

The Red Star Brigade was as hot as a steamer in the middle of the night.

Beneath the old locust tree, by the stone millstone, a few tattered palm-leaf fans whirred loudly, but couldn't dispel the layer of oily sweat clinging to their bodies on this sweltering summer night. Mosquitoes buzzed, but none of the bachelors and old women gathered there paid any attention to the welts on their bodies.

Everyone's ears were perked up like antennas, staring straight at the Qin family's courtyard.

"Hey, did you hear that? The commotion in the Qin family's courtyard hasn't died down yet."

The speaker was Zhao Tieniu from the village. He was over thirty and still hadn't found a wife. He was smacking his lips with a lewd expression, and his eyes were gleaming green in the darkness. "Tsk tsk, that voice, that energy, I overheard it from under the wall, and it made my heart pound like a cat was scratching at me."

Sitting next to him, Li Dazui spat and fanned himself with a large palm-leaf fan to shoo away the annoying mosquitoes. "You're so useless! You can even glean something from listening to a couple's business? That's because Qin Rushan is capable! Unlike you, all you're good for is your mouth."

Despite his verbal abuse, Li Dazui's slanted eyes gleamed with excitement.

The commotion tonight was indeed unusually loud.

Who in the whole village doesn't know that Qin Rushan is a "good-for-nothing"?

But tonight's incident was a real slap in the face for the entire village.

That's not a cripple, that's a tiger descending the mountain!

"Hehe, that's right, that's right."

Zhao Tieniu wasn't annoyed. He rubbed the mud off his body and said, "But it's strange, Li Xianglian usually seems like a quiet person, but I didn't expect that once she was on the kang (heated brick bed), the way she moaned...tsk tsk, it was even more alluring than the female lead on the opera stage."

"Come on! You men don't know anything!"

In the darkness, a high-pitched female voice broke through.

It was Aunt Wang Qiao from the west end of the village. This woman usually didn't care about meat or vegetables. Now, hearing the noise from the wall, she was fanning herself with her palm-leaf fan like a whirlwind, and her eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Qin Rushan's physique is an asset that money can't buy! Look at his waist, it's like it's made of iron, and those long legs..."

Wang Qiao clicked her tongue twice, shamelessly spouting off, "We've all been through this, how could that thing be anything but small? I bet he's hiding a 'disciplinary rod' in his crotch! Otherwise, how could he have made that young widow Li Xianglian cry and scream like that?"

"Oh, Sister Wang, what are you saying? Would you like to try it?" someone nearby chimed in.

"Pah! Even if I want to try it, they have to give it to me!"

Wang Qiao wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, she slapped her thigh and laughed heartily, "If you ask me, Li Xianglian is really lucky! Anyone who gets a man like that would be ecstatic tonight! I'd gladly shorten my lifespan by ten years if I could sleep with him for one night!"

These words drew laughter from the surrounding older women, but none of them actually refuted them.

These country women, when they get together, never hold back their words; their lewd talk is even more explicit than that of a bachelor.

While they verbally condemned Li Xianglian as shameless, weren't they secretly itching with desire?

The sounds that made them blush and their hearts race drifted in on the night breeze, making these lustful women feel inexplicably hot inside. They only hated the useless, spineless man on their own beds, who was nothing but a rotten noodle compared to Qin Rushan, not even worth mentioning.

Just as the group was chatting away, their spittle flying everywhere, and their conversation was getting more and more off-topic, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the village road in the distance.

"Thump! Thump!"

The footsteps were heavy and disordered, and before they even got close, you could hear a series of heavy, panting breaths.

The crowd stopped talking and, by the moonlight, saw that the idiot Erhan hadn't even fastened his belt properly. He was holding up his pants with one hand and waving the other around wildly, running around covered in sweat, but with a strange and excited silly grin on his face.

"What's wrong, Erhan? Is a dog chasing you?" Zhao Tieniu shouted jokingly, crossing his legs.

Panting like a broken bellows, Erhan ran to the big locust tree, plopped down on the ground, pointed towards the cornfield at the west end of the village, and mumbled incoherently, "Goose... big white goose... let the dog ride it! Hehe! Riding it and howling!"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, all thinking that the idiot had gone mad again.

"Get out of here! What 'goose' nonsense, just some late-night tantrum!"

Li Dazui waved his fan impatiently, "Go home and get some sleep!"

"No!" Erhan exclaimed anxiously, his stubbornness rising uncontrollably.

His eyes widened, and he gestured wildly, pointing to the name, "The Party Secretary's wife... that woman in the flowery dress... that fierce woman! Over there! In the field over there! With that rascal... that one..."

Although Erhan is silly, there are two people he is most afraid of.

One was Qin Rushan, who was truly ruthless; the other was Liu Chunhua from the village secretary's family, who was truly cunning.

Whenever Liu Chunhua saw Erhan, she would either scold him or throw stones at him. Erhan remembered her floral dress very well.

Upon hearing the words "the Party Secretary's family" and "flowery clothes," the previously listless crowd instantly perked up their ears.

"Erhan, explain yourself clearly!"

Zhao Tieniu was the first to react, grabbing Erhan's arm and widening his eyes, "You mean... Liu Chunhua? The Party Secretary's precious daughter?"

Liu Chunhua was usually very proud and walked with her head held high. She also dressed in flashy clothes, which led Erhan to call her "Big White Goose" behind her back.

"Yes! Yes! It's that fierce woman!"

Erhan grinned foolishly, gesturing wildly as if his two thumbs were fighting, "In the cornfield! With Li Laizi! That stinky scoundrel! The two of them... weren't wearing any clothes! Completely naked! Rolling around in the mud!"

boom--!

These words were louder than the thunder from before, completely stunning the group of people under the big locust tree.

After a brief silence, a collective gasp filled the air.

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up.

"My goodness! Is this idiot telling the truth?"

Li Dazui dropped his palm-leaf fan, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg. "Liu Chunhua? With Li Laizi? This... how is this possible? Liu Chunhua's standards are practically off the charts, how could she possibly be interested in that scoundrel Li Laizi, covered in sores?"

"This fool may be foolish, but he never lies!"

Another villager lowered his voice, his tone filled with barely suppressed excitement, "Besides, who would go into a cornfield in the middle of the night? And naked?"

"My goodness, this is huge news!"

Li Dazui slapped his thigh, his face trembling with excitement. "Liu Baoguo always bosses everyone around at the brigade headquarters, praising his daughter like a flower. If this is true... hehe, the Liu family's ancestral graves will be emitting auspicious smoke this time!"

In the dull and boring life in the countryside, what could be more exciting than catching the village secretary's daughter's "loose shoes"?

Moreover, the male lead is a notorious scoundrel!

This contrast is fucking thrilling!

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

No one knows who shouted first, but the group of people instantly stood up as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Be gentle! Be gentle!"

Zhao Tieniu, now the commander, lowered his voice and waved his hands furtively, "Don't startle them! If they run away, we'll be out of the loop! Keep your mouths shut and walk quietly!"

Thus, this hastily formed "caught adulterers team" quickly assembled.

Leading the group was Erhan, followed by Zhao Tieniu, Li Dazui, Wang Qiao, and seven or eight idle men and women who loved to gossip.

The group of people crouched low, hunched their shoulders, and tiptoed, barely daring to breathe. Following the shadows along the village road, they crept towards the cornfield like Japanese soldiers entering a village.

Deep within the cornfield, the absurd drama was reaching its climax.

Li Laizi never imagined he would have such good fortune with women in his life.

Although the woman in his arms had a bad temper, her body was undeniably supple.

The feeling of conquering the high and mighty daughter of the village secretary, in addition to that, made him so excited he was about to explode.

He didn't care whether the person beneath him was comfortable or not; he only cared about venting the pent-up desire he had accumulated over thirty years.

"Go ahead and yell! You're usually so good at putting on an act, aren't you?"

Li Laizi, panting heavily, slapped down hard, making a crisp sound. "Why aren't you calling me a stinking beggar now? I think you're even hungrier than a bitch in heat!"

Liu Chunhua was already out of her mind by this time.

The venomous fire of jealousy, combined with the stimulation of eavesdropping all night, plunged her into a state of madness and hallucination.

She clung tightly to the broken corn stalk beneath her, her fingernails filled with black mud.

Looking up at the dirty man on top of her, all she could picture in her mind was Qin Rushan's cold and resolute face.

That muscular physique, that domineering gaze... it should have belonged to her!

"Brother Qin...you're so amazing...ah...Brother Qin..."

Liu Chunhua cried out in a daze of passion, her body frantically responding, "Ah... I knew it, you wanted me... I can make you happy too..."

To Li Laizi, the word "Brother Qin" was both an insult and a provocation.

He grinned maliciously, "Scream! Scream all you want! Calling your Brother Qin won't do you any good! Today, your scoundrel brother will make you happy!"

The two were so engrossed in their filthy pleasure that they were completely unaware that danger was closing in just a few meters away.
